Fixed written price before any work — no obligation.
The honest answer, first
There is no honest set price for a clutch replacement — and anyone quoting one sight-unseen is guessing with your money. On this job the figure genuinely moves with kit pricing by model — small hatch to Euro performance is a wide road; whether the flywheel (often dual-mass) needs machining or replacing; and gearbox-out labour that varies by drivetrain. So we don’t guess: we put the car on the hoist, confirm exactly what the job needs, then you get a fixed written price for your car before any work starts. The written figure is the only number that binds anyone — hold every workshop to that standard, including us.
What drives the cost
Clutch cost is mostly labour — the gearbox has to come out — plus the clutch kit (plate, cover, release bearing) and often the flywheel, which on many modern Euros is a dual-mass flywheel that’s usually replaced at the same time.
Whether the flywheel needs replacing is the biggest variable, so we inspect before quoting.
What the job involves
We remove the gearbox, replace the clutch kit (and dual-mass flywheel if worn), fit a new release bearing and seals, and check the clutch hydraulics before reassembly.
You get a fixed written quote once we’ve assessed the flywheel and hydraulics.
